With the releasal of the "Greatest DVD Collection of all time" being tomorrow (thats Star Wars DVD for you slow guys)  I was thinking we should have the Trilogy play in sequence. wouldn't that be cool. I don't know if this has already been mentioned, I searched and didn't find anything, but i think this idea rocks. Please Admins!!!!

You haven't seen the original Star Wars? How is that possible?

Bearing in mind Thuring, that these are not the "original" Star Wars. This is the first three movies as Lucas had originally intended them, but couldn't produce them as such because of the limitations of the time...
However, according to some of the reviews I have read, he should have left well enough alone... |

I mean the original ones to come out in the theatre back before you were born.
The ones I stood in line to see for over 2 hours.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: HAN SHOT FIRST, GREEDO DID NOT SHOOT AT ALL! And you can't persuade me that Lucas intended for Greedo to shoot at Han at all. There's no reason why he couldn't have done it this way back in 1977.
Anyway, here's a look at the lighter side of the changes: New Changes to the Star Wars Saga (over at Something Awful).
My personal favourite:

sure he did, but it is not politically correct in the empire anymore to shoot first and sneer later 
Some of these pictures are really very good. rofl

This one is awesome:
I don't think it's a good idea to play Star Wars all day.

i just saw the second dvd. Maybe I'm mistaking, but can it be that they made a special-special edition. Altering some things again, this time for the best? |

Yes, they've altered the films again. Here's a list I copied from DVDfile.com:
A New Hope:
- 24.51 : twin sun effect has been renewed.
- 48.50: Han Solo avoids Greedo's shot before shooting at him.
- 50.30: Jabba effect renewed completely, in accordance with Episode 1.
- 1.11.30 and after: Death Star jail corridor is much deeper.
- 1.17.00: the garbage monster has been improved.
- 1.22.10: "Power" and "Tractor Beam" stencils have been replaced with Star Wars "foreign" signs.
Empire Strikes Back:
- 50.56 to 52.05: Emperor's hologram has been reshot with Ian Mc Dairmid. A new dialog has been recorded and Palpatine informs Vader about Luke's real identity!
- 1.03.42, 1.27.18 & 1.38.39: Boba Fett's dialog has been re-recorded by Temuera Morrison.
- 1.32.05 & 1.32.15: Han Solo's black jacket has been erased, due to cut mistakes in the original movie.
- 1.41.40: Luke's scream, which was added in the '97 Special Edition, has been removed again.
Return Of The Jedi:
- 24.44 and after: Edge transparency defects around the Rancor have been removed.
- 1.55.41: Old Anakin's eyebrows have been erased and eyes are now blue, to fit with Hayden Christensen.
- 2.00.44: Naboo has been added to Tatooine, Bespin, Coruscant and Endor victory celebration scenes.
- 2.00.58 & 2.01.03: Senate & Jedi temple are now included in Coruscant panoramic view.
- 2.02.30: As everyone knows already, Hayden appears as a ghost beside Yoda and old Obi-Wan at the end of the movie.
